Govt decides to keeps it co-governance plans secret until after the election

Newsroom reports:

The Cabinet agreed on Monday that ministers wouldn’t receive any further reports on developing a draft plan in response to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples until 2024, Newsroom can reveal.

This doesn’t mean they do not plan to proceed, it just means they want to wait until after the election before they star up again.

We already know they are in favour of giving people on the general roll only 39% of the vote of people on the Maori roll.

We already know they are in favour of having unelected representatives on local Councils having the same vote as elected Councillors.

The only way to safeguard equality of suffrage in New Zealand, will be to vote the Government out.
